There's a good balance struck between bite-size chuckles offered by the central caricatures, and belly-laughs provoked by the scrapes they get into. ...read the complete American Pie movie review at Empire Magazine (Darren Bignell)
American Pie (1999) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Susan GrangerSusan Granger

"American Pie" has more to do with baked goods, or I should say half-baked goods, than with that awful Don McLean song. But it does serve a purpose.
